You get to the start and pay the entrance fee and get a poker hand of cards. You then follow a set route turns normally marked by throwing bags of flour on the road.1 for left and 2 for right (this varies) Some runs have a few check points where you can trade in cards trying for a better hand some you just trade in the number you want at the end. A percentage of the total take of entrance fees is normally the pot and at the end of the run best hand takes the pot. Now not all "poker runs" are actual poker runs , some are just rides with no cards.
EDIT: There is usually food and drink included and sometimes a band all at the ending point. Been on a few with a swap meet at the end. Been on some with a bike show at the end and even a few with games and drags. Games like slow races, and the hot dog game, and the hot potato drags and such.
I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains. Eat right ,Exercise ,Stay fit, Die Anyway!
